Not for PR, for attention. Eclypsia is the typical teenage attention whore, who will do and say anything to get people to look at them, regardless of what the end result may be. | ||

But just handle it internally? This hardly concerns anyone but the parties involved. It just makes sjow look bad and eclypsia like a shitty employer for bringing it out in public | ||

This is the equivilent of a press statement. Team liquid while being a community/Forum/team is also "E-sports press". | ||

Oh, I am sorry, I did not mean "public relations", it's just that this word became a synonim for advertisement in russian language >_<. But now I realised that it doesn't mean exactly that in english, woo, sorry. ^_^" | ||

People just hate on EC because it's fashionable now. Last year sure they did 3-4 things deserving of the very negative reactions they got, but now it's just "Oh, this thread is about Eclypsia? Well I'm gonna go talk shit on 'em because that's what everyone does." | ||

Unless your so-called training is mindless laddering. @Sjow: you've become a puppet, man. Really unfortunate. Don't think you have seen a player contract. There are usually requirements of 20+ hours of weekly practice and they are fully able to punish him without his approval, which means he was a 'puppet' (atleast the way you seem to think of one) since he signed it. | ||

Get real people, every team in any sport would make a public statement about a player who is being suspended, that's called transparency and it's a GOOD THING. So please, don't make assumptions and speculations when you don't know shit about what you're talking about... IMO, it's a good move to make a statement, at least we will know the reasons behind Sjow's possible departure from the team or increase in streaming hours. | ||

Everything I've read about them has been bad news, and I don't think they have done one good thing for the community, I just see shit that comes out of what they do. Nobody cares about them anymore, they have a terrible reputation... Do people even want to see them on Teamliquid? I don't see how they can make any money since nobody likes them... I don't if they can just be expelled from the website in a similar way to CombatEX. Eclypsia handed this very unprofessionally, and I feel like this organization is run by a bunch of attention seeking 20 year olds. I hope my dissatisfaction with the team doesn't come off as too hostile, but I'm just really upset with them, and don't think they bring any positive light to the community, or our respected players. | ||

Do you expect your bosses to announce it in the workplace when this sort of thing happens too? "Crew, sally was late today so were gonna have to dock her pay this week. You are entitled to know this because her being late does not benefit or affect you at all." Yeah, what you said carries no weight. | ||

Not only that, it makes their player feel like shit. This is something that has to be resolved internally, and if it comes to a suspension then do it and keep it quiet. 2) One month without pay seems extreme for these pro gamers who don't make much money as it is. If these extreme punishment start becoming commonplace than esports quickly goes from getting paid doing what you love to all business. I don't want to hear about money, salaries, PPV's, etc... this is competitive gaming trying to grow it's too soon to get corporate! | ||

Maybe just should have posted it on the website and have been done with it. Or just a blog or something. | ||
